FAQs
How long does Redken Color Gels Lacquers last?
As a permanent hair dye, Redken Color Gels Lacquers are designed to provide long-lasting color. However, the longevity can vary based on hair washing frequency, hair care products used, and hair type. Regular touch-ups may be needed as roots grow out.
Do I need a developer with this product?
Yes, Redken Color Gels Lacquers must be mixed with a compatible Redken developer (e.g., Redken Pro-Oxide Cream Developer) in a 1:1 ratio. The developer is sold separately.
Can I use this on previously colored hair?
Yes, it can be used on previously colored hair. However, the final result will depend on the current color of your hair. A strand test is highly recommended to predict the outcome.
What is the ammonia content like?
Redken Color Gels Lacquers feature a low ammonia content, making it a gentler option compared to traditional high-ammonia hair dyes.
How do I prepare my hair before coloring?
For best results, apply the color to dry, unwashed hair (ideally 24-48 hours after washing). This allows the natural oils to protect the scalp. Ensure hair is free from heavy styling products.
Can I mix different Redken Color Gels shades?
Yes, Redken Color Gels Lacquers are designed to be intermixable, allowing for creative customization of shades. Always follow mixing guidelines and perform strand tests when creating custom formulas.
What is the difference between Color Gels Lacquers and other Redken lines?
Color Gels Lacquers are specifically formulated to provide the saturation of a gel, the shine of a liquid, and the coverage of a classic oxidative dye, with a low-ammonia formula.
Troubleshooting
Color is too dark or too light
Ensure accurate mixing ratios with the correct developer. Strand test before full application to confirm the expected result on your hair type and color.
Uneven color application
Thoroughly saturate all hair strands during application. Ensure hair is clean and free of styling product buildup. Section hair precisely for even distribution.
Scalp irritation or allergic reaction
Always perform a patch test 48 hours before use. If irritation occurs, rinse immediately and do not use the product. Consult a professional if symptoms persist.
Color doesn't cover grey effectively
Ensure adequate saturation on grey areas. Use the recommended developer strength for grey coverage as per Redken guidelines. Reapply if necessary, following product instructions.

Setup: Redken Color Gels Lacquers require mixing with a specific Redken developer (sold separately) in a 1:1 ratio. Always perform a strand test and a patch test 48 hours before full application to check for allergies and preview color results. Follow the mixing and application instructions provided with the product precisely. Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most hair types, including color-treated, chemically processed, and natural hair. However, results will vary based on your starting hair color and condition. It is not recommended for use on hair that has been recently bleached or permed without professional consultation.
Care: To maintain color vibrancy, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid washing hair with hot water, as this can strip color. Limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant spray. Regular conditioning treatments will help keep hair soft and healthy.
